5 Colchester Fringe Shows I'm Excited to See (And 1 I'll see again!)

5 Colchester Fringe Shows I'm Excited to See (And 1 I'll see again!)

I am in the UK! 
Shiny! 
Happy! 
Very tired and Jet-Lagged! 
But once again, and for the last time in 2026, I will be in full Fringe spirit - ready, able and willing to see some of the best theatre you can find in the world from some of the best people you'll ever meet. 

I am here presenting my show A CANADIAN EXPLAINS EUROVISION which you can find tickets for here: TICKETS

EMBARASSED NAKED FEMALE

This show has been dancing around me all Fringe season. She has taken it all over - EVEN to my hometown of North Bay, Ontario (shout out to On the Edge Fringe)
I am super curious by the concept, and have heard wonderful things that make this one of the most exciting ones at this festival, and one that I am quite eager to see myself! 

Tickets: HERE

 

ZEUS SHAGS ANYTHING: Greek Myths NOT for Kids

Man dressed as Zeus

As someone who loves Greek myths, storytelling, and Eden this show should be an easy recommend. After seeing his performance in Edmonton, you quickly fall into enjoying his energy and ease onstage as a gifted storyteller. Others might call him charming - but I'm excited to see him do his thing with an entirely new set of stories to showcase. 

Tickets : HERE

The Unforgiveable Crime of Love

Les is someone who creates interesting pieces that are heartwarming, engaging and steeped in interesting history that is often overlooked. I can't wait to see what he does with this story that sounds like it'll be an affair to pull the heart strings as we examine an interracial queer romance in the face of Nazi Germany. 

Tickets: HERE

Jeckyll & Hyde: A One Woman Show

Jeckyll and Hyde isn't exactly new- but I can honestly say in all the versions I've seen - I've never seen a fem lead one! There is a richness here that could easily draw out some of the best analogies to being seen as a monster and the other stigmas attached with womanhood - not just in Victorian times but til today. (I mean, we solves this whole sexism thing already, right? RIGHT?!) A fresh take on a classic will always get my attention and this one sounds absolutely delightful. 

Tickets: HERE

(a play in a) DARK ROOM 

I love a boundary pusher. Someone who dares to make you uncomfortable. Someone who does what they want and doesn't care what you think about it. Noah is one such individual. His pieces are loud, queer, and absolutely unapologetic - and as such - you have my attention. Since I have never been in a dark room myself (cough) I am a curious pup to see what he brings to the table and how far he manages to take us this time.

BONUS: JOSEPHINE

If Tymisha Harris is in your city YOU GO SEE HER. This is world class talent at a price you will not ever get again. She's easily one of the most talented, beautiful and hardest working people in all of Fringe, and Josephine is arguably her magnum opus. 

Based around Josephine Baker and her fascinating story, she completely embodies the character in a way that can only be done by someone who has spent the past ten years of their life in the role. 

A stunning piece of theatre and one I am eager to see again. (And maybe one additional time)

Want more? I'll have more for you tomorrow! 
Don't miss out on this amazing chance to catch a whole new world of live theatre!
